ok guys i am very sorry about all the confusion going on here! i was away yesterday and returned today. seems like there are some questions and i am going to update the post so everyone is ok. so again the event will be on friday the 27. of july 2012 hehe.

@ blud haha didn't know that sorry. but this time we are going to play the us army!

And where did you get this date format? The USMC uses Year, month, day if you care. Just wondering cuz it's weird to me, lol.

Yeah Blud its European I Belive, Or even i think most of the world use it, We use Day, Month, Year Just thought i'd lighten that up if you didnt know, and maybe cared. :D

[=VG= Outlanders]

Yeah, we have day/month/year too.

Aye, writing year first is often used for record keeping, as when searching for a specific event you will search by year, then month, then day.

The weird one is the standard US method of Month/Day/Year. Makes no sense and just complicates everything. ;)

sorry guys but something came up, so probably won?t be there:/

Makes no sense?! It's July 26th today. If we said it the other way, we'd have to add a word, (of), as in 26th "of" July.
Hence, July Twenty-Sixth Two Thousand Twelve rolls off the tongue better, faster. Us Americans are all about better/faster.

Halloween is on October 31st and the readout in our date format follows like we say it = 10/31/2012

But I suppose no matter where you are from, what is familiar is familiar, and what isn't, isn't ever gonna be familiar.
!cheers

[chrisi123]

not only the timezones are diffrent, even the dates are haha

[=VG= Wooz2770]

ok scratch that, im probably gonna make it anyway...

[chrisi123]

Fair enough, I hadn't considered that Americans weren't clever enough to mentally swap around day/month in their heads. :p

So shouldn't US digital clocks be MM:HH then? So 30:10, as it's typical to say the minutes before the hours.

[=VG= SemlerPDX]

I think I see your point.

Nah, we actually say the hour first, then minute.
It's Eight O'Six AM right now. (8:06AM)
And our digital readout reads like that. Cleverness doesn't enter into the equation, but familiarity does.
I don't prefer anyone's standard over any other, even my own. I'm just used to it, familiar, of course.
*I do think that smaller to bigger is the most clever - the day/month/year format. I can respect that.

But it would sure be a lot less confusing if standards were global, no matter which one of the formats was chosen for it.

See you all in Vietnam!!

I would like anyone who has not already installed these mods, and been on the map before, to arrive in the TS3 channel 30-60 minutes before the event.

There may be troubleshooting problems, or perhaps an installation issue, version conflicts, etc.

We want to get these out of the way well before the event starts. I personally have had to sit out of an event because of such a conflict once, and it sucks! Please take the time to join me in the channel so we can get you all set up before hand.

!fans

We have no info as far as I know as to whether the new TS3 update affects ACRE, good or bad. For the time being, I recommend no one update TS3 yet; if you already have, don't worry.

[chrisi123]

Take your time guys. I won't be able to make it at 1700. I'll come later like 15-20 minutes. I am going t ok tell you later whats going on cause I'm currently with my mobile phone. Savage will start a warm-up mission so everyone can be ready for my mission then

[chrisi123]

[=VG= Outlanders]

[=VG= Gaz]
